VSDCA: Plenty Valley aiming for 12 in a row

Plenty Valley is on the verge of yet another dominant victory in the north/south division of Sub-District Cricket.

With 11 wins in 11 matches this season, Valley was sent into the field against lowly Kingston Saints on Saturday and the bowlers were resting their feet by mid-afternoon.

Kingston got through 53 overs for a paltry 90, restricted and eventually choked by a sublime Plenty Valley bowling attack.

Michael Croxford most of the damage with 5/29 from 11 overs.

Sean Ayres took 3/17 from 14 overs, bowling six maidens, while Ben Dennett (1/12), Justin Jaensch (1/17) and Lorenzo Ingram (0/5) also did excellent jobs in tandem with Croxford and Ayres.

Ayres (29) and Michael Sheedy (3) lost their wickets before the day was out but Plenty Valley finished a comfortable 2/50 at stumps.

Dylan Forster (17) and Ingram (0) are at the crease.

Plenty Valley will look for an outright victory before a tantalising final-round one-day clash on March against Caulfield, beaten only once this season.

It could well be a preview of the north/south first XI grand final.
